Seeing they are still laughing and playing, Rory has a mixed feeling. She's wondering whether it's a mistake for her to stop them from being together. And now their happy smiles prove that she has been wrong all the time.
'Actually, it is a good virtue for a person to help to bring a romance to a happy ending. I don't have to hold onto John. Moreover, John doesn't love me at all. Yeah, they can be happy together and then I will find my happiness one day, too.'
Perhaps it is because of what happened before, she finally comes round to the right idea.
Miya notices Rory and she immediately restrains herself. Then she walks over, lowers her head guiltily to Rory and says, "Sorry, Rory."
Rory does not escape this time. Instead, she lets out a smile, "Actually, you didn't do anything wrong. You just chose to do what you liked. The one who was being wrong was me. I was wrong. I always thought that as long as I kept John by my side, he would like me one day. But it turned out that I was overthinking. I had a lot of extreme thoughts before, but I won't do that anymore. So you two can enjoy your time together now."
Hearing this, Miya is so excited that her heart almost jumps out because she hasn't expected that Rory would say something like that. This is what she has been expecting for.
John, who is standing by the side, is even more excited. He thought that it would be hard for them to leave there, but he didn't expect that just a small change in Rory's mind would do.
"Actually, you don't have to stay here anymore. Come on, hurry up and leave before I change my mind," Rory says half-jokingly.
Miya is very grateful as she says, "Rory, you are so nice. I don't know how to thank you."
"Then please be nice to John and make him happy. I mean, I hope that both of you can be happy, although I don't know whether we can meet again in the future."
Actually, Rory is still feeling disappointed, but she doesn't want to tie John down anymore. Because John's heart isn't with her at all, she has to give up on him. She doesn't want to coordinate with her mother to implement those vicious plans anymore. It turns out that she feels most happy the moment she decides to be herself.
Therefore, Rory decides to return to the way she used to be. John and Miya just hold hands in front of her.
"I'm sorry. Thank you for taking care of me all this time."
John hasn't expected that the happiness would come this quickly as he says seriously to Rory.
But Rory breaks into smiles through tears, "I know that both of you have been nice with me. When I was sick, you would take care of me. I am very grateful for that. I hope that you can be happy, and only then will I be happy."
Rory says so because she doesn't want to do anything against her conscience any longer. She only wants to be the happy and carefree Rory again. Let them embrace each other and if someone has to be hurt in the end, she would like to take the role.
